Clinton All In On Gun Control, Two Decades And Counting

“I’m all for that.” That was Hillary Clinton’s response, back on Sept. 30, 1993, to a question posed by Sen. Bill Bradley, D-N.J., during a Senate Finance Committee hearing. What did Bradley ask that generated such an enthusiastic response? He had inquired whether she supported the imposition of a new 25-percent national sales tax on guns.

Americans for Tax Reform has resurrected that clip as a reminder of just how far Clinton is willing to go to punish gun owners and discourage gun ownership. Bans, restrictions, registration, taxes—you name the form of gun control, she’s all for that. Always has been, always will be. But as sure as we are of her willingness to do anything within her power to disarm America and dismantle the Second Amendment, you can also be sure that voters will have their chance to have their voices heard at the voting booths next November. 

Use Your Power!

The only way we can be sure to avoid a president who will trample on the Second Amendment is to get out the vote. No one can perform your civic duty for you; if you haven’t registered to vote or need to update your address, do so today!

I am a big believer in transparency. Each individual needs privacy from unconstitutional government intrusion—this especially includes what guns a law-abiding American citizen might own—but an association of freedom-loving citizens must be transparent.

U.S. v. Hemani Arguments

On March 2, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in U.S. v. Hemani. The case involves a defendant who is fighting a federal indictment for possessing a firearm while being a marijuana user.

President’s Column | Getting You Up to Speed

A lot of things have occurred over the past month or so that not all members are completely aware of. I’ll use my column this month to update you on some important issues—transparency.

Standing Guard | The NRA Gathers to Celebrate Our Freedom

The momentum we’re seeing across the country is both encouraging and energizing. January opened with tremendous activity at the NRA booth during SHOT Show, where members, industry partners and supporters stopped by to connect, share ideas and reaffirm their commitment to freedom and the Second Amendment.

Port Authority Doubles Down on Constitution-Free Zone with High-Profile Arrest

As anyone who has passed a basic civics class knows, the U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land. All legislation and official government actions are subject to its limits.
